Stelvio Pass in a BMW E24 635CSi - Passo Dello Stelvio - Italian Roadtrip

Amazing! And nice car, I have one just like it!

They are nice roadtrip cars for retro adventures such as this 😁👍

Nice vid. Couple of things I'd like to respectively suggest - give your windshield a thorough cleaning just before you gather such footage - your eyes don't see many things that a lens does. Also - what are the chances of a drone on follow mode as you make the ascent? Cutting back and forth between landscape, driver pov, and aerial would be super cool - especially since the combination of seeing your 635 on those roads in motion from various angles would be glorious. (I just stored my 1987 royal Blau 635 5 speed away for the winter) - can you tell that I already miss it now that I'm looking at others 635's on you tube - lol

I agree, windscreen should have been cleaned. Footage such as this was filmed on the go during a roadtrip I was on, so windscreen got dirty many times a day. This was filmed 3500km away from home back in 2016, with limited amounts of cleaning equipment onboard. I don't have a budget to support a drone right now, but it would have been nice to have some aerial footage as you suggest. Especially on a steep hill such as this. Glad I'm not the only one looking at videos of the vehicles that is currently stored for the winter 😅

@@MoePower2 Well good on ya for bringing your 635 to see the world and drive the hairpins. What I would give to meander through Italy in my sixer - stop for an espresso and look over a map to see which roads look the most fun to take. Best regards.

A year later and I stumbled upon this once again ;) oh I have to get the girl out and drive ! Such a beautiful pass thanks for filming this..

​@@brianaust8897Still haven't driven mine this year, but it's time to put it to use again any day now. Just waiting for the roads to dry up after a long winter. Definitely want to go on another trip like this someday.

[@MoePower2]

Nice to hear that there are fellow guys out there! It's a special feeling driving such an old car in environments like this, so far from home. They are nice roadtrip cars for sure.

Wooow!! You again with your amazing red masterpiece! 2757 meters above sea level!! If we assume a NA engine loses about 3 percent of its power for every 1000 feet of elevation, then your car (218 PS) should lose about 27 percent of its power which translates to about 160 PS!! So, your 635 CSi with 218 PS at sea level is even weaker (at that height) than a 628 CSI with 184 PS at sea level!! Thanks a million! Please upload more videos of this lovely piece of machinery!

Thank you :) I will try to upload more often. I have lots of footage that's never been uploaded, although it was filmed a few years ago.
